Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a nitroglycerin containing pharmaceutical composition, preferably a direct compressed tablet, stabilized by the presence of glyceryl monostearate.
  • the formulation closely replicates the properties of nitroglycerin molded sublingual tablets (e.g., adequate disintegration and sublingual absorption), while reducing the problems experienced with compressed tablets (e.g., friability and weight variations).
  • the stable tablets are characterized by a decreased migration of nitroglycerin, decreased potency loss, excellent content uniformity when stored.
  • the preferred combination of components are: nitroglycerin/lactose dilution, hydrous lactose, glyceryl monostearate, fumed silica, pregelatinized starch and calcium stearate.
  • the preferred process employs direct compression technology to yield a stabilized composition showing adequate disintegration and bioavailability.
  • nitroglycerin which is a liquid at normal temperatures, easily migrates from tablets to other tablets and/or to the container and container components. Nitroglycerin will migrate to the cap-liner and to other tablets such as aspirin if the two products are stored together in the same container. Plastics have various affinities for nitroglycerin depending on their polarity; hence tablets have not been successfully marketed in unit dose containers. In fact, the USP states that nitroglycerin tablets must be stored in glass containers.

  • a compressed tablet was prepared using the combination of MCC and PVP and marketed by Warner Chilcott Laboratories as NitroPRN®. The tablet was far superior to the current molded tablets with respect to nitroglycerin migration and volatility.
  • the high amount of water insoluble excipient (MCC) was not desirable since the tablet gave a less acceptable feel and slower disintegration under the tongue.
  • nitroglycerin sublingual tablets is typically the traditional molded tablet method.
  • a wet mixture of nitroglycerin concentrate and other ingredients is made and, while moist, is pressed into cylindrical cavities.
  • the wet tablets are pushed out using pins, which are accurately aligned to the cavities, and dried.
  • the method produces a porous, fragile, rapidly dissolving tablet.
  • a high degree of weight variation occurs and this attribute, coupled with inter-tablet migration of nitroglycerin, does not adequately preserve satisfactory content uniformity upon storage.
  • the higher content variation which occurs after aging of the tablets, even when stored in tightly closed glass containers, is attributed to inter-tablet migration.
  • this method has certain disadvantages; among them are the need to incorporate stabilizing agents like PVP, or the nitroglycerin itself, in alcohol and the subsequent removal of this solvent. It is preferable to employ nitroglycerin in a non-alcoholic solution for safety purposes. Also, wet granulations may require a binder which would retard and reduce the release (dissolution) of nitroglycerin from the tablet matrix. In addition, the extra handling and safety concerns with the processing of a wet granulation make the use of this technique less desirable.
  • an improved stabilized nitroglycerin tablet appears to be the use of a direct compression technology. By this means the complexity and safety concerns with the wet granulation process is obviated. Although much is known about the problem of nitroglycerin instability, an improved dry compression formulation which closely matches the original sublingual tablet has not been produced. Such a tablet would preferably meet the USP requirements for nitroglycerin molded tablets, be comparable to the molded tablets in texture, size and weight, and effectively reduce the potency loss and inter-tablet migration of the drug.
  • the literature reports a number of stabilized compositions, but none have been prepared by direct compression technology to mimic the properties of a molded tablet.
  • the lack of technical improvement relates to the complexity of the formulation with respect to selection of excipients and stabilizing agents which can be used to closely mimic the physical and chemical attributes of molded tablets and afford a significantly improved stability, and similar disintegration and bioavailability.
  • compositions such as tablets, containing nitroglycerin comprised of: nitroglycerin, glyceryl monostearate, calcium stearate, silica, starch and lactose are stabilized against the migration of the active agent from tablet to tablet when such tablets are in contact with each other.
  • the compositions are of the same taste and similar mouth feel as molded compositions which have been available heretofore.
  • the nitroglycerin containing tablets exceed the USP specifications and are bioequivalent to molded tablets.
  • compositions can be prepared by a direct compression method.
  • direct compression technology provides compositions which can be readily produced in an inexpensive, facile, efficient, hazard free and environmentally safe manner.
  • nitroglycerin, glyceryl monostearate, hydrous lactose, calcium stearate, pregelatinized starch and hydrophobic fumed silica are blended and then compressed to form the sublingual tablet.
  • the active agent of the present invention is nitroglycerin.
  • the novel pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can contain from about 0.5 to about 2 weight % of nitroglycerin, said weight % based on the total composition weight. This permits a variety of dosage strengths to be manufactured.
  • nitroglycerin has a vapor pressure of about 0.00026 mm at 20°C and is a violent explosive which must be handled with great care.
  • Commercially available nitroglycerin is, therefore, diluted to a concentration of 10 weight %, prior to the undertaking of pharmaceutical compounding and processing. This concentration of nitroglycerin was previously considered as flammable, but new Department of Transportation regulations have reclassified nitroglycerin concentrations above 2% as explosive. For safety reasons, nitroglycerin is diluted to a concentration below 2 weight %.
  • nitroglycerin dilution at a range that is suitable to produce various strength tablets that are currently prescribed.
  • One common dilution of a given percentage of nitroglycerin is readily compounded with additional excipients to produce the various strength tablets. While the strengths can be readily compounded using a 10% dilution, because of current regulations, compounding is performed, and exemplified herein, using a lower 1.95% dilution.
  • the diluent is comprised of the main ingredient, lactose.
  • Lactose influences, to a great extent, the flow behavior, compressibility and the taste of the compositions. It has been discovered that the presence of greater than about 90%, preferably about 95 to about 98%, weight % of lactose, said weight % based on the diluent weight, is surprisingly advantageous. In terms of weight % based on total tablet weight, preferably about 85 to about 95, optimally about 88 to about 93, weight % of lactose is present.
  • lactoses there are many lactoses known to those skilled in the art that are included in the scope of the present invention. As an example which is not meant to limit the scope of the invention, there are a number of well known commercially available lactoses in the market such as anhydrous lactose and hydrated lactose forms - monohydrates (TABLETTOSE sold by Meggle Co. of Germany), hydrous lactose fine, hydrous lactose fast flow and hydrous lactose G-200. Different grades of hydrous or anhydrous lactose may be used that enable the preparation of tablets with good compressibility, low friability and quick disintegration as well as affording protection from flammability.
  • anhydrous lactose and hydrated lactose forms - monohydrates TABLETTOSE sold by Meggle Co. of Germany
  • hydrous lactose fine hydrous lactose fast flow
  • hydrous lactose G-200 Different grades of hydrous or anhydrous lactose may be used that enable the preparation of tablets
  • additional excipients are included in the diluent along with the lactose.
  • One of these additional excipients is an anti-sticking agent.
  • silicas there are a number of silicas known to those skilled in the art, and the present invention is meant to broadly encompass all of these silicas.
  • the silicas can be precipitated (SYLOID® sold by Davison Division, W. R. Grace Company) or fumed, amorphous, colloidal or crystalline and in an anhydrous or hydrous form.
  • Fumed silica or silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) is a colorless, tasteless amorphous powder that is insoluble in water and acids.
  • These colloidal silica particles are sintered together in chain-like formations that possess surface areas of 50 to 400 M 2 /g, depending upon the grade.
  • Hydrophobic fumed silicas are well known commercially available materials, e.g. AER-O-SIL® R-972 sold by Degussa, Inc. of Teterboro, N.J., CAB-O-SIL® N70-TS sold by Cabot Corp. of Tuscola, Ill., TULLANOX® 500 sold by Tulco, Inc., (all of which are preferred for use herein), of the general class of amorphous precipitated silicas but of the pyrogenic (fumed) type which provide, according to Kirk-Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (Third Edition) Vol. 20 at pages 768 and 778-779, an ultimate particle size of 1-100 nm, and an aggregate particle size of 2-3 ⁇ m. Hydrophobic silicas are discussed in Kirk-Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (Third Edition) Vol. 7 at pages 440-441.
  • compositions of the present invention also include the presence of starch.
  • starch There are many different starches known to those of skill in the art and the present invention includes, but is not limited to those listed in Grant &hackh's Chemical Dictionary, Fifth Edition.
  • a preferred starch of the present invention is pregelatinized starch.
  • the starch is present in an amount from about 5 to about 15 weight %, preferably about 5 to about 10 weight %, based on the total tablet weight.
  • nitroglycerin is a volatile compound that exhibits poor physical stability when formulated without a stabilizer.
  • the presence of the stabilizer decreases the potency loss of nitroglycerin in tablets, and thus its addition is important.
  • the preferred stabilizer of the present invention is glyceryl monostearate.
  • Glyceryl monostearate is a waxy material that decreases the disintegration time of nitroglycerin tablets.
  • a disintegrant is preferably employed in the present invention. It is widely known to those of skill in the pharmaceutical development area what constitutes a disintegrant and the amounts to be employed in pharmaceutical compositions.
  • Non-limiting examples of common disintegrants include one or more water dispersible cellulose derivatives such as microcrystalline cellulose, sodium croscarmellose, starch, and starch derivatives such as sodium carboxymethylstarch.
  • the diluted nitroglycerin is blended with a preblend of the stabilizer (i.e., glyceryl monostearate) and diluent (i.e., lactose). Then the anti-sticking agent (i.e., silica), more diluent and the disintegrant are added to the blend.
  • the stabilizer i.e., glyceryl monostearate
  • diluent i.e., lactose
  • the conventional procedure for making compacts requires the addition of a lubricant to the mixture before compression. Compression is accomplished by subjection of the dry blend under pressures by moveable punches operating in a die wherein the blend is confined.
  • the lubricants are necessary to allow the ready ejection of the formed compact and to prevent the binding of the punches in the die. Lubrication is required only at the tablet-die interface to prevent sticking of the newly formed compact to the die walls.
  • existing practical approaches to tablet lubrication require homogeneous distribution of lubricant within the entire tablet formulation.
  • a hydrophobic lubricant is preferred. Even more preferred is a lubricant which is the alkali metal salt of a fatty acid.
  • calcium stearate is the lubricant of choice in the present invention (calcium stearate is a well known commercially available material, e.g. calcium stearate NF powder sold by Mallinckrodt of St. Louis, MO).
  • Another aspect of this invention relates to the process for preparing the novel stabilized nitroglycerin tablets having the compositions described hereinbefore.
  • the process by which the stabilized nitroglycerin tablets are prepared comprises the steps of: (a) commingling nitroglycerin with lactose to produce a nitroglycerin dilution (current regulations require that the content of the active agent be about 2 percent); (b) adding and mixing the nitroglycerin dilution with an excipient or combination of excipients selected from the group described hereinbefore to produce a blend; (c) compressing the blend under a force of about 200 to about 800 kg; and (d) thereafter, recovering the blend as a compressed product having a hardness of about 1-4 kp.
  • One embodiment of the present invention provides for the preparation of the formulation by milling glyceryl monostearate along with a small portion of hydrous lactose.
  • hydrophobic fumed silica is milled along with a small portion of hydrous lactose.
  • Diluted nitroglycerin is blended with the milled glyceryl monostearate/hydrous lactose mixture in a blender for 5 minutes.
  • an intensifier-bar is turned during mixing.
  • the milled hydrophobic fumed silica/hydrous lactose mixture an a disintegrant, such as pregelatinized starch are added and blended for about 5 minutes.
  • a lubricant such as calcium stearate, is then added.
  • Blending for the purposes of discovering the present invention has been accomplished through the use of a V-blender. It should be understood, however, that there are different blending techniques known by those skill in the art that may be used with similar results. Variations of all blending times discussed herein of ⁇ 50% are permitted to obtain blend uniformity.
  • compositions of the present invention are tablets. Therefore, conventional tableting equipment and standard tableting procedures are applied to the blended mixture to prepare compacted sublingual nitroglycerin tablets having improved stability. Compression is accomplished by subjecting the blended mix to high pressures by moveable punches operating in a die wherein the tablet mix is confined.
  • the thoroughly blended mixture is directly compressed into tablets on a tablet machine. While any tablet machine known to those skilled in the art may be used to compress the blended mixture into tablet, in a preferred embodiment, tablets are compressed on any rotary press with weight control at a force of about 200 to about 800 kg at an average speed of about 75 RPM (65-85 RPM). Most preferably, an instrumented tablet press is employed for better control of tablet weights.
  • the tablets are packaged and/or stored for a period of time. Tablets can be packaged in glass amber vials (25-100 tablets per vial).
  • the compacted pharmaceutical tablets of the present invention it is a desirable characteristic of the compacted pharmaceutical tablets of the present invention to be bioequivalent to molded nitroglycerin tablets.
  • the bioavailability of the active ingredient is not impeded by the processing or the excipients added to make a stable compressed nitroglycerin sublingual tablet
  • the present invention is surprisingly advantageous by including excipients which are necessary to impart physical characteristics essential for manufacture with existing compaction equipment, but without having adverse effects on the availability of nitroglycerin.
  • the initial disintegration time of the compositions of the present invention is about 25 seconds.
  • the disintegration of the compositions of the present invention is on the order of about 10 to about 40 seconds.
  • the disintegration of the compositions of the present invention is on the order of about 20 to about 30 seconds.
  • a free flowing granulation is crucial in quickly and evenly filling the die cavity during compression in a high speed press. Uneven or poor flow of granulation results in erratic filling of the die cavity and consequently, weight variation. Small differences in weight are magnified as large relative standard deviations for a tablet with an average weight as low as 35 mg. Because diluted nitroglycerin is a non-flowable, wet appearing mixture, it is a major contributor to flow problems in a powder blend. Without the aid of the excipients, the impedance to flow of granulation is expected to be seen at the highest strength (0.6 mg) where the greatest amount of nitroglycerin is incorporated into the blend.
